The tour was excellent! We did the half day morning tour starting around 7am and were back in the resort by 11:30 AM. It was AMAZING- definitely a highlight to our honeymoon. We were picked up, taken to the elephant camp where we learned a bit about them. We started off by feeding them watermelons, then their supplements, then mud bath and pool time with them. The entire time you have access to the lockers with your phone and they have a photographer on site capturing every moment! It doesn't feel rushed AT ALL, and it was amazing. I'd recommend taking your phone to the feeding part then leaving it in the locker for mud bath and pool time. Honestly so great! Oh! They also have a mini cooking class at the end and they feed you :)

Full description

Enjoy a pickup from your hotel in Phuket and travel to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary. Upon arrival at the sanctuary, meet your guide and learn a little about the animals. Witness stunning views of the surrounding jungle while interacting with friendly elephants in a safe and sustainable environment.

Get bananas and sugar cane to feed the elephants. Walk with your guide through the sanctuary, where you will find free-roaming elephants and hear their individual stories. Touch, feed, photograph, and interact with the elephants at your leisure while you learn about their lifestyle and behaviors.

After meeting all the elephants, accompany them to a mud spa. Get muddy with the elephants as you apply a healthy mud treatment to their skin. Next, walk with them to a pool and join them in the water. Take a swim and help bathe and brush the elephants while they wade through and play in the water.

Once the elephants are clean, you can take some final photos with them, before bidding farewell to your new friends and changing into some dry clothes. Finally, enjoy a delightful Thai buffet and head back to Phuket.

This is a fun and informative activity. The elephants are so sweet. We never felt scared. All the children were having a great time. I highly recommend this activity.
